"After finishing his film Weekend in 1967, Jean-Luc Godard shifted gears to embark on engaging more directly with the radical political movements of the era, and thus create a new kind of film, or, as he eventually put it: 'new ideas distributed in a new way.' This new method in part involved collaborating with the precocious young critic and journalist, Jean-Pierre Gorin. Both as a two-person unit, and as part of the loose collective known as the Groupe Dziga Vertov (named after the early 20th-century Russian filmmaker and theoretician), Godard and Gorin would realize 'some political possibilities for the practice of cinema' and craft new frameworks for investigating the relationships between image and sound, spectator and subject, cinema and society. Included here are five films, all originally shot in 16mm celluloid, that serve as examples of Godard and Gorin's revolutionary project: Un film comme les autres (A Film Like Any Other) (1968); British Sounds aka See You at Mao (1969); Vent d'est (Wind from the East) (1970), Lotte in Italia/Luttes en Italie (Struggles in Italy) ( 1971), and Vladimir et Rosa (Vladimir and Rosa) (1971). High-definition digital transfer. High-definition Blu-ray (1080p) and standard-definition DVD presentations. Original uncompressed monaural audio. Optional English subtitles. A conversation with JLG: interview with Jean-Luc Godard from 2010 by Dominique Maillet and Pierre-Henri Gibert. 100-page full-colour book containing English translations for the first time of writing by, and interviews with, Godard and Gorin, and more. Total run time: 456 minutes."

Fire Magazine present their seventh issue, Autumn 2017. In the last few years there has been a resurgence of classic rock and heavy psych. An increasing number of labels are dedicated to stoner rock, doom, heavy psych, sludge, occult, drone, ambient, space rock and other related subgenres. It seems that the past is the new future. People again dig the values of the '70s and that certain kind of attitude, they like people who can play their instruments, but they also love the spirit, the vibe, the analog recordings, the vintage gear, even the look and the outfits on stage because this is an honest and genuine way to make music. In many hard and heavy magazines, big bands are getting big features, great coverage and long articles. On the other hand there is less written about underground bands. In this magazine, there are less of the usual big names that occupy the spotlight in the glossy, more popular publications. Fire Magazine wants to put in the forefront those very good, valuable bands that don't have wider recognition. The aim of this bi-monthly magazine is to create a place where fans can find what they like the most. Crafting a well-packaged, well-presented, full-color magazine, with a lot of regular features and in depth surveys, not only interviews and reviews. Fire Magazine chose the name Fire due to its multiple meanings. Fire is energy, fire is purification, fire is the flame of psychedelia, fire is the fuel of rock'n'roll, fire is the spirit that Jimi Hendrix gave his guitar and last but not least Fire is the masterpiece by Arthur Brown, a real pioneer and a godfather of our musical genre. Issue No. 7 features: Electric Wizard, Queens Of The Stone Age, Boris, Chelsea Wolfe, Deadsmoke, Kadavar, Ufomammut, With the Dead, Black Hole, Lords of Altamont, Pagan Altar, The Flying Eyes, Psychedelic Witchcraft, Monolord, Necromandus, Monarch, Aphonic Threnody, Deadsmoke, Nibiru, Ruby the Hatchet, Caronte, Zone Six, Three Eyes Left, The Necromancers, House of Broken Promises, Wucan, Radio Moscow, Blackfinger, Bell Witch, Ancient VVisdom, and Iron Monkey. SIZE: 210mm X 297mm. FILE UNDER: heavy psych, stoner, doom, sludge, occult, dark, '70s hard rock.

To what extent can we imagine community, exchange, and collective projects that no longer fall back on the dominant narratives of nation, fatherland, and family? This is the question posed by Terre Thaemlitz in a detailed exchange featured in the 16th edition of zweikommasieben. Throughout this issue of the magazine, similar questions are asked; the artists and musicians featured seem to be looking for a progressive reaction to the feeling of disintegration that not only can be witnessed in the larger society but in the music scene as well. The questions are subliminally present in the contribution about the independent collective and venue called Macao, or in interviews with musicians such as NON's Farai or American experimentalist Steve Hauschildt. The answers often remain ambivalent; ultimately there won't be any utopias. "There's a sun in the sky," as Laurel Halo points out in the magazine, "but it's burning ever hotter." Includes interviews with DVA Damas, Farai, Laurel Halo, Mechatok, Parrish Smith, Steve Hauschildt; portraits on Golden Pudel's/V I S's Nina as well as Evil Grimace and Von Bikräv from Casual Gabberz; essays on "Late-Phase Identity Politics" (with Terre Thaemlitz) and "A Short History of the Aesthetics of Excess in Hip Hop"; columns on the oral history in reggae ("Basslines"), Black Sweat Records ("From Here Till Now"); pictures from Georg Gatsas ("We Are Time") and Nadja Stäubli (about Red Bull Music Academy Weekender 2016 in Zürich‎) as well as poetry with "Sound Texts"; Contributions by Das Ding, Macao, Laraaji, and German Army. Co-published with Motto Books. Bilingual: English/Deutsch; 152 pages; size: 190x 280mm; Edition of 2000.

"On the cover: Inside the dream world of Quantum Natives (Scattered across the globe but digitally connected, Brood Ma Yearning Kru, recsund, Rosen and other QN operatives are forging parallel futures for electronic sound and vision). Inside the issue: Hedley Jones (The Jamaican audio engineer died in September having altered the course of 20th century music with his sound system innovations); Li Jianhong & Wei Wei (Blending horror and sci-fi obsessions with DIY experimentation, the musical initiatives of Li Jianhong and Wei Wei have placed them at the cutting edge of the Beijing scene); Once Upon A Time In Sao Paolo (The collision of pop and avant garde music in the late 1970s gave rise to the fiercely independent and still influential vanguarda paulista movement); Invisible Jukebox: Tyshawn Sorey."

Reissue of the ultra-rare 1976 vinyl, Vincent Price's A Hornbook For Witches, Stories And Poems For Halloween, on CD for the first time. Turn up the volume, and turn down the lights. Suspense-master Vincent Price presents a hair-raising, bone-chilling collection of classic horror tales featuring a ghastly brew of witches, ghosts, and goblins. Edgar Allan Poe's eerie Dreamland, John Collier's offbeat Thus I Refute Beezly, and Marias Leech's practical but frightful How To See Ghosts Or Surely Bring Them To You, are just a few of the tales stirring up fear in this chilling concoction of horror. These stories, sounds, spells, and incantations will send shivers up your spine. This is a truly amazing landmark recording from the good old days presented by one of the greatest voices of horror. Also features pieces written by Leah Bodine Drake, Charles Kingsley, and John Kendrick Bangs. Comes complete with all the original stunning album artwork. Digitally remastered.

Magazine is the inaugural issue of Blank Forms' journal, bringing together a combination of never-before published, lost, and new materials that supplement the non-profit's live programs. It is envisioned as a platform for critical reflection and extended dialogue between scholars, artists, and other figures working within the world of experimental music and art. Following "Let Freedom Fry" -- a short statement by Joe McPhee drawing out the contemporary political climate in relation to his practice as a creative improviser -- the magazine is bookended by four texts surrounding the practice of pioneering sound artist Maryanne Amacher; an essay by Bill Dietz on his collaborations with Amacher and his work with her archive; an unpublished 1988 interview highlighting Amacher's ideas around her Long Distance Music and Mini Sound Series; a conversation between Marianne Schroeder, Stefan Tcherepnin, and Lawrence Kumpf revealing the archival questions raised by Amacher's work; and science fiction writer Greg Bear's short story Petra, a tale of gargoyles coming to life and breeding with humans in a post-apocalyptic Notre Dame, from which Amacher's 1991 piece got its name. This issue also includes Branden Joseph's interview with The Dead C's Bruce Russell, accompanied by Russell's essay exploring the Situationist tradition of "mis-competence" in New Zealand electronic music. Charles Curtis contributed notes on the interpretive challenges posed by a posthumous performance of Terry Jennings's minimalist classic Piece For Cello And Saxophone. Shelley Hirsch, Richard Skidmore, and Dennis Hermanson provide a series of writings on and remembrances of the late Ralston Farina, whose scarcely documented "visual poetry" was an important precursor to what we now call "performance." And from her own 2016 performances at the Emily Harvey Foundation, Dawn Kasper supplies her original proposal document and score notes for an improvisational interpretation. Magazine features two new French-translations: an excerpt from François Bonnet's book of phenomenology, The Infra-World, translated by Robin Mackay, and a Christophe Broqua interview with enigmatic huntress of sounds Anne Gillis, translated by Adrian Rew. Ian Nagoski's rare 1998 conversation with Éliane Radigue, conducted and largely ignored at a time when there was little interest in her music, provides one of the clearest overviews of the visionary composer's early work and life. Supplementing the texts are numerous archival photos and documents, plus "Dark Matters", a poem by Joe McPhee. Edited by Lawrence Kumpf and Joe Bucciero.

"On the cover: Q65, The Outsiders and the Dutch Beat Revolution, the stories of two legendary, rebellious bands from the Netherlands in the 1960s. Part 2 of The Uniques -- blue-eyed garage and soul from America's South. Plus The Left Banke, Texas '60s icons Neal Ford & The Fanatics, occult rocker Geof Crozier, German freakbeat from The Toxic, and demented San Fernando Valley punk rockers Puke, Spit & Guts. There are revealing interviews with Richard Strange of The Doctors Of Madness, and original Rolling Stones and Yardbirds manager Giorgio Gomelsky, and, in his own words, Victor 'Moulty' Moulton tells the poignant story of how he lost his hand yet fought on to become the drummer of successful Cape Cod band The Barbarians. We also take a peek at the personal acetate archive of John Entwistle and reveal the story of a New Jersey girl garage group that met and inspired The Stooges. Plus our acclaimed reissue and book review sections, fully-loaded and bursting with insights and information."
